Worst: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Aside from Elden Ring, which lets you wander away from perilous foes and explore the hauntingly beautiful Lands Between, any Souls-like game is worth consideration in a worst games to play when baked. But Sekiro is the worst of them all. Widely considered the hardest FromSoftware game, Sekiro is absolutely brutal for stoners. There’s nothing more disheartening than making headway in a difficult section just to get yeeted back to a save point that feels, offensively, far away from your goal, and that feeling is even more dejecting when you’re high and a little morose.

Sekiro doesn’t suffer fools, and pot makes you goofy and spacey. It’s a nightmare combination, but nothing instills more fear in me than imagining the fucking Guardian Ape coming back to life after thinking I’ve defeated him. Hard pass. This shit really harshes my mellow.
